Proverbs 26:5-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ Answer the fool showing him his folly lest he be wise in his own conceit.

⁶ ¶ He that gives responsibility to one who is not able to carry it out is like him that sends a message by the hand of a fool, and he shall drink the damage.

⁷ Like unto the way that the one who is lame walks, so is a proverb in the mouth of the fool.
